Iowa State (9-0) shot a blistering 64% from the field (39-of-61) while outscoring the Hoosiers 62-34 in the paint.
Ciezki made 13-of-14 free throws and 12-of-21 shots before fouling out with 3:39 left. She had 13 points in a frenetic first quarter. Iowa State led 16-10 but that quickly evaporated and the teams tied at 24.
The second quarter was much of the same. Indiana briefly led and the Cylones went up 39-34 but that quickly disappeared. A 3-pointer by Mackenzie Hare gave Iowa State a 46-43 halftime lead.
Indiana stayed with Iowa State but the Cyclones went on a 9-0 run after trailing 55-53 in the third.
They kept the pressure on in the fourth and led by as much as 99-80.
Lenee Beaumont added 19 points for the Hoosiers.
Indiana: hosts Western Michigan on Wednesday.
